Also it was kinda of a exchange where they raised the gas prices and reduced the sales tax on certain retail items. It was weirdly done because we all knew that money would not go back to the roads to be fixed.

Oh, right, I forgot about the sales tax part. And the "don't worry, the funds are *constitutionally protected* from being used for anything but the Transportation Trust Fund" thing. Right, because that's really stopped them from reallocating (excuse me... "borrowing") the funds before.
